This article is about the manufacturer. For the car of the same name, see Willard.
Willard is an American automotive company in the 3D Universe and the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series. It is based on the real-life company Buick.
Overview[]
The logo is somewhat shaped like the Hudson Motors logo, the squiggle inside slightly resembling the classic Chrysler/Plymouth winged emblem. Some vehicles in Grand Theft Auto IV can be seen with license plate frames that say "Liberty City Willard", suggesting they were purchased at the city's Willard dealership.

Trivia[]
- The company's name may be a reference to the 1971 horror film Willard, in which multiple Buick models can be seen in the background throughout the film.[1]
- Interestingly enough, the 2003 action comedy film Bad Boys II, released a year prior to when the Willard name debuted in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, features a notable scene in which leading actor Will Smith, whose real first name is Willard, is seen driving a Buick Blackhawk concept car.
